Kuna Families,
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote last week—we deeply appreciate our community's support and the passage of our supplemental levy!
As our fall activities season comes to a close, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible dedication and talent of our student-athletes and musicians. From the Friday night lights and crisp weekend meets to the captivating melodies performed at our concerts and half-time shows, your hard work and team spirit have made our entire district proud. Thank you for representing our schools with such passion and sportsmanship!
Moving forward, we are working closely with our Board of Trustees to reduce our reliance on local property taxes. As part of this effort, the board is looking to refinance the bond originally used to build Swan Falls High School and other district projects. This move will generate significant interest savings and shorten our debt timeline by three years.
Please look for more detailed information about this plan in our upcoming monthly Board report.
As we look ahead through the month, we want to share a few important updates and upcoming events across our district:
-
Veterans Day Celebrations: We are honoring our veterans with special events and activities in our schools. With the Kuna High School assembly serving as the main event for our community. We’re excited that our high school broadcasting students will be live streaming the district's annual event—it is definitely one you won't want to miss! See the list of activities below. Thank you to all who have served!
-
8th Grade CTE Program Tours: Next week, the first half of our 8th graders will tour our Career Technical Education (CTE) programs at Kuna High School and Swan Falls High School. These visits will help students make #KSDfutureready choices as they prepare for their freshman year. KSD schools are your best choice, and our CTE offerings are a big part of that success. To learn more about available programs, visit www.kunaschools.org/CTE. The second round of tours will be in second semesters.
-
Season of Giving: The holiday season is a wonderful time for celebration and community support. Our high school students led by the Honor Society and other groups will help Rake Up Kuna on Saturday, Nov. 14. Our students are embracing the spirit of giving through local food drives to support area food banks and families in need during the next two months. Please check your individual school newsletters for specific food drive details.
-
Supporting Student Meals: We also greatly appreciate those who are able to support students through school lunch donations. Donations can be submitted online via LINQ Connect or through the Kuna Education Foundation.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students and schools!
Sincerely,
Marcus Myers
Superintendent, Kuna School District
